BUG: URLACTION not Passed to Custom Security Manager

Hosts of the Web Browser control that implement a custom security manager can find a URLACTION may not be passed through to the security site for evaluation.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

The current list of URLACTION that will not be passed to the custom security manager in most circumstances by Internet Explorer 5 are:

• URLACTION_SHELL_FILE_DOWNLOAD
• URLACTION_COOKIES
• URLACTION_JAVA_PERMISSIONS
• URLACTION_SCRIPT_PASTE

There is no workaround for this problem. The behavior for the URLACTION can only be changed for all browser clients on the system by altering the security zone settings from Internet Options.
